oooh I loved this movie, now I need to go back and watch it now that I'm a nurse.

We have the same policy, we count instruments once... Except we count the instruments used to close again during final counts. Like we make sure the malleables are back, and mosquitos or anything else they use at closing.

Are you banned from the hospital? If not.. Just suck it up and go.

I'm a diploma nurse.. I still had to take college courses. I earned college credit. I took it as she just walked in off the street and became a nurse by saying "I never went to college" As a diploma nurse, I'd never say something like that.

Some nurses only make $5 an hour more than $15... I'm no economist, so I don't know what the overall effect would be. With that said, I don't care if it's increases.. I just don't think it's fair, but such is life.

So the longer you stay your contract is increasing... It's usually the opposite.

Does your family have a lawyer who could look this over? What happens if you get fired? Do you still have to pay it back, that's what I'd be most scared of. I personally would not be interested in signing a 50,000 contract.

Carla (was that her name?) the nurse, claimed she had never gone to college. So that was disappointing haha

Nursing programs will have to be more selective. There are only so many seats and they wouldn't make money to make more. I'm all for free higher education. It's not happening soon like you say it is though. College should be accessible to everyone.

I'll be making a few bucks more than minimum wage. I'm a RN.. The years in school and debt will not be worth it. I'd probably have more money and sanity working at target for $15 with no student loans and less of my paycheck going to taxes. [emoji52]

There does not seem to be a downside... At all. Go for it.

Really? That's a shame. That's where I feel I learned the most in nursing school. I think your experience as an aide will help you to find a position after graduation.

What not do an accelerated BSN.. It'll take the same amount of time

I refer to them as my surgeons lol it's not a big deal..

If you do switch.. I'd be wary of getting a degree in something like criminal justice or psychology. Very few jobs, without an advanced degree.

Exactly one year

Not safe. I think if there was a mass shooting in my city.. I think they'd target my hospital. You can't hear the code intercom messages in the OR rooms either.

You are way off base. Do not follow this advice OP. As a nursing student who did a rotation in one facility.. You cannot safely say that 🙄

I think you can still go on to be a good nurse. Your main duties as an RN will not be personal care. I never worked as a hospital aide because I knew I'd hate it.

I was 18 and working a temp job for the census knocking on doors. In the training class I heard people talking about CRNAs and how much money they made. I started taking classes the next semester haha. But now I'm a nurse and have no interest in bein...

I'm assuming there's some kind of transfer policy.. You might not be able to transfer for six months or a year.. Look in your HR paper work or call HR to see what the requirements are at your facility

I'd assume you would also be taking a significant pay cut as a new grad RN compared to an OT with 15 years experience. And your hours will probably be worse. And honestly you're making a huge difference in patients lives.. I think OTs are more respec...

Uh... Holy cow I make around 1/3 that

Here.. But I'm working on my BSN

I don't understand how he has trouble parenting his kids two days a week [emoji52]
